Summary SUMMARY Cambridge 1. In, there were 206,750 motor vehicles entering and leaving Cambridge per 12-hour day (7am to 7pm). This represents an increase of 0.2% compared with 2015. Prior to 2014 the long-term trend over the past 17 years has been relatively flat, but there has been an increase of 8% over the past three years. 2. At 57,597 per 12-hour day, the number of motor vehicles crossing the River Cam bridges within Cambridge was 1% less than in 2015 and 12% less than 10 years ago. 3. There were over 3.13 million Park and Ride journeys in, representing a decrease of 1% compared with 2015. Other Urban Areas 4. The numbers of motor vehicles entering and leaving the nine market towns per 12-hour day in were: Huntingdon 76,834, Wisbech 64,934, St. Neots 55,908, St. Ives 51,246, Ely 46,263, March 35,389, Whittlesey 32,541, Ramsey 19,488 and Chatteris 19,688. Cycling 5. There was a 2% decrease in cycle trips in * compared with 2014. However, there has been significant growth of 59% from the 2004-05 average baseline. * data does not currently include data from the counties cycle ATCs as these are currently not operational. Figures will be updated when these issues have been resolved. Cambridgeshire Guided Busway 6. During there were just under 315,000 passenger journeys on the Cambridgeshire Guided Busway, representing an increase of 4% compared with 2015. 1

Introduction 1. INTRODUCTION Purpose of the Traffic Monitoring Report 1.1 The County Council, as Highway Authority, is responsible for all public roads within the county, except for the motorway and trunk road network, which is operated and maintained by Highways England. In order to fulfil its functions, the County Council requires up to date information on vehicle flows, flow composition, vehicle occupancy and overall trends. This information is used:- to identify and justify transport schemes; to assist in the priority ranking of schemes ; for strategic planning; for development control purposes; in road maintenance assessments; in road safety investigations; in the environmental assessment of schemes; for the monitoring of targets; to provide a database of information. 1.2 This report examines traffic and travel trends for both rural and urban roads within the county. Where appropriate, trends are compared with national statistics. Variability in Traffic Counts 1.3 Much of the information in this report is based on twelve-hour manual traffic counts. 1.4 Due to the random nature of traffic flow, even if counted under identical conditions the number of vehicles recorded in these samples will fluctuate. The associated uncertainty reduces (in percentage terms) as the number of vehicles increases. 1.5 More serious, and much harder to quantify, is potential systematic variation due to differing circumstances when counts are carried out. Three examples are:- Roadworks, accidents or other incidents causing vehicle diversions; Changes in travel mode due to weather; Unusual events (e.g. sport or entertainment events) causing untypical traffic patterns. 1.6 Care is taken to minimise the potential for systematic variation, but, inevitably, there is no guarantee that it is completely eliminated. 1.7 Because of random and possible systematic variation, caution is needed when interpreting observed changes in traffic from one year to the next. 3

Cambridge City 2. CAMBRIDGE CITY Introduction 2.1 Traffic flows have been monitored comprehensively in Cambridge since 1978 using two screenlines. 2.2 The first screenline runs along the River Cam, with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists crossing all bridges in the city centre being counted in the Spring of each year. 2.3 The second screenline is a radial cordon, with vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists on every entry and exit route counted in the Autumn. Eight sites are also monitored to count cyclists and pedestrians on paths between the radial routes. River Cam Screenline 2.4 Vehicles and pedestrians crossing the River Cam urban screenline in April are shown in Table 2.1. The figures include cycle and pedestrian traffic on the City s River Cam cycle and pedestrian bridges. Table 2.1 Vehicles Crossing the River Cam - April Vehicle Type VEHICLES 12 Hour Flow Modal Split Motor Cycles 1005 1% Cars & Taxis 46,597 37% Light Goods 7373 6% Heavy Goods 994 1% Bus & Coach 1628 1% All motor vehicles 57,597 45% Pedal cycles 33,264 26% Pedestrians 36,541 29% Total (All modes) 120,525 100% 2.5 Traffic trends across the River Cam since 2012 are shown in Table 2.2 12

Cycle Monitoring 4. CYCLE MONITORING 4.1 The numbers of cyclists using particular routes over the past ten years is shown in Table 3 in Appendix 2. Growth in Cycling 4.2 Cycling growth is measured by the overall increase across a number of automatic and manual count points located throughout Cambridgeshire, giving a large, robust sample. 4.3 There was a 2% decrease in cycle trips in * compared with 2015. Overall growth from the 2004-05 average baseline is 59%, which is better than the Council's target of 33.6%. * data does not currently include data from the counties cycle ATCs as these are currently not operational. Figures will be updated when these issues have been resolved. 4.4 The River Cam bridge surveys undertaken in March are a major component of the index Table 4.1 Cambridgeshire Cycle Flows at Selected Locations Increase from 2004- Year 2005 average baseline 2012 35.8% 2013 32.8% 2014 55.6% 2015 63% 59% Journey to Work by Pedal Cycle 4.5 Data from the 2011 national census shows that 30% of journeys to work by Cambridge residents are by pedal cycle. For Cambridgeshire as a whole the figure is 9.7%, which is much higher than the average 3% for England. 4.6 The latest available data from the Department for Transport s walking and cycling statistics, published in June 2015, shows that, in the 12 months ending March 2014, 22% of adults in Cambridgeshire cycled at least once a week. The corresponding figure for Cambridge is 48.1%, which is the highest in the country: Proportion of residents who do any walking or cycling (at local authority level) (CW010) - Statistical data sets - GOV.UK 29

The Busway 5. THE BUSWAY Introduction 5.1 The Busway opened on 7 th August 2011. This chapter contains some data about use of the Busway, including numbers of bus passengers, cyclists and pedestrians. Passenger Journeys 5.2 During there were just under 315,000 bus passenger journeys on the Busway. This is an increase of 4% compared with 2015. The busway usage trend is shown in Figure 5.1 below Figure 5.1 Guided Busway Passenger Journeys 12-month Rolling Total Cyclists and Pedestrians Using the Busway Maintenance Track 5.3 Table 5.1 below shows numbers of cyclists and pedestrians using the maintenance track beside the Busway per 12-hour day (between 7am and 7pm).

Definitions APPENDIX 1 DEFINITIONS General Traffic Flow The number of motor vehicles in a given period of time, expressed as a two-way total. 12 hour flow Traffic flow in the period between 7 am and 7 pm. This is the usual period observed for manual traffic surveys. 16 hour flow Traffic flow in the period 6 am to 10 pm 18 hour flow Traffic flow in the period 6 am to midnight; traffic surveys over this period are used for environmental and traffic noise studies. 24 hour flow Traffic flow over the entire 24-hour period. 12 hour AAWF Annual Average Weekday Flow (Monday to Thursday inclusive) throughout the year. This is usually based on counts carried out during the Spring and Autumn months. 16 hour AAWF The Annual Average Weekday Flow (Monday to Friday inclusive) throughout the year. 24 hour AAWF The Annual Average Weekday Flow (Monday to Friday inclusive), throughout the year. AADT ATC MCC Screenline Annual Average Daily Traffic is the average flow on an average day, i.e. Sunday to Saturday inclusive, throughout the year and is expressed as a 24-hour flow. Automatic Traffic Counters are battery powered wire loop detectors operating from permanent loops cut into the road. The loops create a magnetic field, which is disturbed when a vehicle passes over it. Manual Classified Count is a traffic count undertaken by manual observation, recorded and classified by vehicle type and time period. An imaginary line drawn across a transport corridor (often following a physical barrier such as a river or a railway line) used to determine net flows between the areas on either side. Note: It is generally accepted that the 24 hour Annual Average Daily Traffic flow is the same as (or very similar to) the 16 hour Annual Average Weekday Flow. 32
